I went to a chiroprator 3 yrs ago. I paid $80 for my first visit and was seen two more times in which I asked the billing person to bill me. She said she would file it with the insurance and send me a bill. I never heard back from them. I assumed that the insurance company had paid and fogot all about it. About a week and a 1/2 ago, my mother called me and said that someone from the chiropractor's office had called and left a nasty message on her answering machine saying that if I did not pay the remaining balance of $75, they were going to take me to court. I called them back and asked them about it. They told me that they had an outstanding bill and that they had tried to contact me and I would never return their correspondance. When I initally went to the Dr., I was living at my mothers. I moved but she is still there, has been for over 20 years. She has never recieved a phone call or a bill until now. After about a week after the first phone call, a summons was sent to my house and I have to be in court Jan 5, 2001 for a bill that is over 3 yrs old and that I had thought was taken care of by the insurance company ( to find out, I did not meet the deductuble). I just dont understand how someone can take someone to court after 3 yrs of not trying to contact someone and then sue after a week. Please help me. Thank you
